“A COP? SERIOUSLY?” Emma tossed her handbag on the table and took a seat around the edge of the control room. “We wacked a president in Chad last spring, and now we are chasing a police officer?”

The woman was of average height, with long brown hair. The scattering of freckles across her nose made her look younger than thirty-eight years old. When she glanced at her bare forearms, she pulled the sleeves down to hide the multitude of scars.

“He’ll come to a sticky end, don’t worry. From what we’re being paid for this one, consider it a working vacation. Iain, how are you doing?” Eric closed the blinds on the living room window and sat in the only armchair. The safe house had not been used in almost two years, and puffs of dust rose in the air.

Eric had been at the game longer than anyone else in the room, and he was looking for an easy score. Just a few more, and he would get out of the game and retire. That’s what he kept telling himself anyways. Men like him never retired.

“Good. I remembered the power supply adapter this time.” Iain Caldwell held the item in the air and plugged it into the wall. His luggage was mostly electronic items, with three laptops taking up the main bulk. The thin man was used to Emma’s outbursts and ignored them. He had posed as her husband so often that it felt like a marriage of sorts.

“Get crackin’. I’d like to be home before we get used to the time zone.” Emma pulled a water bottle out of her purse and tapped a foot on the hardwood floor.

“We all would, dear. Now quit your fuckin’ whining.”

They could hear a sledgehammer from the cellar as it pounded the concrete flooring. Oliver knew where to look, and he always seemed to enjoy getting his frustrations out. After hearing the story, Eric had no doubt the visual of a customs agent overlaying the floor.

Within a few minutes, Iain had the system up and running. He plugged in the high-speed modem and was online.

“Checking connections.” He switched to the middle laptop and logged into a server. The pounding in the basement stopped. “We have access.”

For five minutes, each screen had a black background and white typing as he entered a string of command code. Then on the third screen, an image of Noah Hunter was pulled up, and Eric studied the man’s face. He didn’t look special, just your average law-enforcement officer. “Can you check if he’s ever been charged?”

Back on the first screen, Iain called up the database search engine. “Nothing.”

“Current location?” Eric was curious about the charges but not that curious. He didn’t need to know, and none of his business. He didn’t give a rat’s ass what the cop did as long as he got paid. Let God sort it out.

“His cell phone is online and operational. Pinging in Arrow Point, Wyoming.”

“He’s probably ditched it. It conflicts with the latest intel.
